Ayesha Mirza offers a warm, person-focused counselling style rooted in Client-Centred Therapy. She centres sessions on each person’s experience and treats clients as the expert on their own lives. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to build on existing strengths.

She helps people facing stress and anxiety and those struggling with low mood. Relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem are common topics she supports.

Background and approach

She also addresses related concerns such as obsessive behaviours, phobias, and postpartum depression. Ayesha brings four years of professional experience and has worked within an NHS agency. That background means she is familiar with practical pressures people face when juggling health, family and work demands.

She draws on that experience to keep sessions focused and straightforward. People who have faced immigration or multicultural challenges, adoption and foster care matters, or fertility-related stress can bring those concerns to sessions. She is also prepared to talk about less commonly mentioned issues such as sex addiction, self-harm, prejudice and discrimination, and the effects of disasters.

Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu, which helps people from different communities feel understood. Ayesha uses everyday language in sessions and works at the client’s pace to set realistic goals. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching form and schedule a time that suits them.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online

Ayesha practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person rather than on labels. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps clients uncover their own answers. This approach suits stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and the emotional impact of trauma.

Finding the right style of therapy is part of the work. Ayesha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which ways of working feel most helpful. That collaboration continues as needs change over time, so the approach can be adapted session by session.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when typing helps someone explain things more clearly.

These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and life commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use the range of formats to keep support consistent while matching how each person prefers to communicate.
